Baked Smothered Chicken

Hey Guy’s! Welcome back to my channel.
In today’s video I show you a new recipe for me. I’m sure a lot of you have been browning your meats before making smothered chicken or any other meats but I’ve just discovered this with chicken.
I couldn’t believe how delicious my Baked Smothered Chicken turned out. This is the ultimate recipe that I will use from now on for a decadent delicious meal.
In this video I used double the chicken so if you want to cook a single batch just use one pound of legs and one pound of thighs which will equal 2 pounds.
All of the other ingredients you can adjust as you go when it comes to the amount of seasonings that you use and the amount of gravy that you make.

Baked Smothered Chicken:
2 Pounds Chicken Thighs, skin on
2 Pounds Chicken Legs, skin on
1 Quart Chicken Broth
4 Ribs Celery, chopped
1 Large Onion, sliced in rings
4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 Stick Avocado Oil Butter
1/2 Cup Self Rising Flour
Slap Ya Mama Seasoning
Goya Adobo
Granulated Garlic
Granulated Onion
Smoked Paprika
Black Pepper
Wash and clean chicken then season with the seasonings listed above or choose your own.
Heat cast iron skillet. Once good and hot add avocado oil. Place the chicken in the pan skin side down.
Brown on both sides cooking approximately 5 to seven minutes on each side.
In a roaster pan layer the onions and celery.
Once the chicken is browned on both sides place it on top of the vegetables in the roaster pan. Add the chicken broth to the roaster pan trying not to wash the seasonings off of the chicken with the broth.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
Once 30 minutes are up take the chicken out of the oven.
Drain the broth from the roasting pan to use for your gravy.
Turn the skillet back on to heat the drippings that you have from browning the chicken.
Add 1/2 of a stick of plant based butter.
Once the butter is melted and everything is good and hot add 1/2 cup of self rising flour. Using a whisk, whisk the flour in the pan and cook it until it has browned to the color of your liking. Do not have the burner too high. Medium heat will do.
Do not burn.
This should take around 5 to 8 minutes.
Add the broth from the baked chicken to make your gravy. Add the broth and little at a time giving the gravy time to thicken between each addition.
Once the gravy is ready pour over the chicken and vegetables in the roasting pan.
Bake uncovered for an additional 45 minutes.
Serve over rice and enjoy 😉

I’m so glad you put up the full video on how to make it! I saw a short on it and my mouth was watering it looked so GOOD!!!!

When I make smothered chicken, I season it, and lightly dust it with flour. Then when I add my liquids it automatically makes a gravy. Your chicken looks delicious.

Tried This with pork chops yesterday ( didn't have chicken didn't want to drive to the grocery store lol), added some sliced mushrooms to the pan with the onion, it was amazing.

Brought tears to my eyes. Took me back to when we sat at the table, and my aunts and grandma would prepare dinner and it was us as a family do, eat some of the best prepared food we'd grow up with. Those were the women of the village then, glad to see we yet have us, that don't feed our kids food prepared by the unknown hands of someone else
If we could just call for the women of the village to be what many of today's kids don't have. Looks delicious, I could smell it over social media.

Wow, it looks so good! I haven’t had smothered chicken in years. Thank you for this wonderful recipe and the blessing. That was the one we said when I was growing up. Brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful memories.

when you said your going to wash your chicken first. I knew I was at the right place !

This is a great recipe. I usually add onion, celery, bell pepper, known as the trinity in Louisiana. Poultry seasoning and thyme leaves. I also sprinkle fresh garlic all across the top of the chicken. Throw in a bay leaf or two. I fry my chicken with a little flour and my gravy comes from that flour when the stock is added. Looks delicious Jackie!

This brought back so many loving memories of my sweet mother‘s cooking in Atlanta in the 70’s.I literally was emotional watching you and then seeing the young girls at the table, Praying with you made this feel like home as I watched. Thank you for sharing a mouthwatering dish That I am inspired to try and replicate with my mother‘s touches of love because you truly added the love of God! 🙏🏼

That looks amazing! It's getting very Autumn-like here in Rhode Island, and I'm going to put this on my menu. I especially love that you use thighs and drumsticks. They are so much tastier, and less expensive, than chicken breast. Thanks for sharing another delicious meal.

That looks so good I could almost smell it! Your girls are lovely, and natural. Not making a huge deal, just tasting and eating and enjoying. I will try this sometime when I'm feeling ambitious about cooking. You make it look easy, but in reality it is quite a bit of time to prepare. But if we want something that looks so good, have to put in the time and effort. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

[bernadinemadison]

I’m going to make this tomorrow. It really looks good. Your girls appear to be well mannered and pretty young ladies. Thank you for making me a better cook. Oh….don’t forget the vegetables.

[sherylpatterson]

[judithl]

Wow, this lovely lady knows her way around the kitchen! She didn't go on about her roux - but it was beautiful and it's the core of her gravy. Can't wait to try this recipe tonight! Thank you, you have a beautiful family. :)

I love a gravy that's made with the broth...such a rich flavor and excellent with rice or mashed potatoes...or greens and hot water cornbread! GOOD EATS!
